This specimen was lot 293 in Sincona sale 63 (Zürich, June 2020), where it sold for 375 CHF (about US$470 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

(Germany, county of Hanau-Münzenberg, William IX of Hesse-Cassel, 1760-85, thaler of 1778, Hanau mint, under the regency of his mother Maria. For the Biberer mine. Very fine.)"
